Men Are Funny

If you ever want a good laugh, I’d recommend listening to a two men discuss fashion. It is simply hilarious. I thought I would die laughing. Kevin & Josh were discussing the finer points of fashion last night. Oh lord, I wish I have a tape recorder to capture the discussion. Talk about the blind leading the blind. Anyhow, I’ve decided to do some investigative research into the dark and mysterious world of men’s fashion. What I need to know is:

How many pairs of shoes does a man own? (Excluding the specialty pair like snow boots or hiking).

Drop me an email or pop your total into the guestbook (if you wish to be anonymous) with your total if you’d like to participate in this ground breaking research. If I get enough of a response, I’ll put something good together.

Oh yeah, Kat and Mikey, thank you for supporting my blond dream.

Anniversary

We had a wonderful anniversary. Kevin came home with presents (always a good start) and then we headed out to my favorite resturant, il piatto. If you are ever looking for a wonderful place to eat, I highly recommend it. We found it because Kevin’s brother used to take girls there if he was trying to impress them. Now I know why. Not too expensive but excellent service and very intimate atmosphere. And yummy wine. Ahhhhh. And the best part was we made it home in time to catch the end of BattleBots on tv. Could it get any better????

The Pooka Life

I used to read Tarot cards. It was actually quite fun and I even began to make by own deck. Unfortunately, I had to stop once it became painfully clear that I have no artistic ability whatsoever. I’ll try and scan in a sample card – it’s worth a few laughs. I’m thinking of dusting off my divination skills so if you want to help me get back in the groove, let me know and I’ll try and divine your future. No guarantees though.

I’ve been in a restless mood lately and this weekend I decided it was time for a Big Change. That’s right, I decided I wanted to go blond. I thought this would definitely rattle things up. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your view), Kevin managed to talk me down from blond to red. Off to the store to buy some bottled gunk and then, 30 minutes later, it was all over. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your view), my hair proved to be resilient to color. Kevin says if I stand perfectly still in direct sunlight he can see a difference. I think he just wants to keep me happy. This only goes to support my initial feelings that blond is the answer. Of course, it did cover all my white hair that has mysterious appeared ever since I married Kevin. Hmmmm. Wonder if there is some sort of connection there?

The Pooka Life

I have recovered enough energy to go see my friend, Josh, preform last night. His band is called Malibu Run and they are a totally swinging/rock-a-billy band. Check out their web site for their next show. I give them 2 thumbs up!

I had no idea that there was the whole rockabilly musical subculture out there. It was kind of fun to see all the rolled up jeans and slicked back hair. And my goodness these people know how to swing. We also heard a few sets from Johnny Mercury. Couldn’t stay too late as the nightquill began to kick in. I guess I’m just getting old.
